Can I have a popsicle? Yes.
Can I practice the piano later? Yes.
Can I run through the sprinklers? Yes.
Can I go to Grandmas? Yes.
Can I wear this? Yes.
Can I do a messy project? Yes.
Can we bake something? Yes.
Can I go swimming? Yes.

Until next time, Summer. You've been good to us...

I'm Going There Someday...

We had a wonderful morning at the San Antonio Temple doing our "Temple Treasure Hunt". After discovering the many treasures at the temple -- stained glass windows, Angel Moroni, the temple workers inside the foyer, the words written above the doors, meeting the gardener -- we drew our own pics of the temple. Of course, by this time Johnny Scott was literally diving into the fountains, so we had to make a break for it. We grabbed a CTR ring at the distribution center, then some free bread across the street.

Just for about 45 minutes I pretended like I was at Pike's Place in Seattle. Yes, I was dripping sweat -- but I so enjoyed the Farmer's Market I finally found downtown. We tasted new foods, learned all about shrimp, checked out the slim pickin's of produce (we need some serious rain!), met Lulu the one-eyed dog, listed to live guitar music, taught my kids all about fresh and healthy foods. And of course, grabbed some gorgeous flowers for $5.00 -- just like Pike's Place!
